Elizabeth and Grandma Smile 

Part 1-I love these photos.  What you didn’t see-love the photos of all of us getting into the car (taken by Sarah) and also the photos of Elizabeth with the curlers in her hair and me “pretending” to do Elizabeth’s hair.  Wish I could have taped that conversation with Elizabeth yelling at me about how she didn’t like it and me telling her that I wasn’t finished yet…

Anyway, had a wonderful time Friday night!  So so fun.  And so glad the stress of graduation and the party is over. 

More photos coming soon. 

Happy Tuesday!

Sweet 16

IMG_5784

Happy 16th Birthday, William! 

{I’m posting this a few days early because I don’t want my sweet middle child's 16th birthday to get lost in the mass chaos of preparing for Elizabeth’s graduation and graduation party. }

It seems like only yesterday that you were riding around on the tricycle at Pre-K wearing the Happy Birthday crown on. 

img269

It has been 11 years since Pre-K graduation. 

You were a cutey then and you still are now.

So cute Smile .  A new game and a new controller for your birthday.

You look a lot like this guy-even though you won’t admit it.

We love you, William! 

Happy Birthday!

Totally Random Friday

IMG_5721_edit

Art Journal Page in Progress-totally lifted from Donna Downey’s Inspiration Wednesday pages as seen here.

IMG_5728_edit

I have also been playing around with writing with the darning foot on my sewing machine. 

IMG_5729_edit

I love these colors and it was fun to just play around.

IMG_5730_edit

Because even Mom’s need some time to play, right?

IMG_5733_edit

Pudge thinks not.  She would like to eat snacks all day.

IMG_5734_edit

Ralph is always pensive.

And Tigger is a big bully. 

Happy Friday! Lots of planning and cleaning going on this weekend!
